Mirror Image

For years, designers have been using mirrors to make small rooms look larger. Occasionally, I like to use mirrors to make a dull room more interesting.

I love the look of antique quilts hung on the wall as art. This mustard and cream quilt is a beautiful example of the pattern called "Drunkard's Path" (hence the wobbling). One day I realized how neat it would look to have the quilt pattern reflected on the table. Enter a simple square mirror and a sushi bowl full of dahlias. The effect was stunning.
